Name: Sage Green Diamonds
Item#: 18052
This is a more geometric style of shoulder cloth with a more subtle color scheme. The almost sage green ground is accented with lilac, pinks, and orange, similar to a field of flowers. However, the motifs within the textile are fairly complex, with diamonds of flowers and stripes (colorful stripes represent the belly of the hong bird - a mythological bird whose belly is the rainbow), with lines studded with triangles representing the naga (mythological river serpent) which represents female energy, as the naga lives in the rivers, the rivers irrigate the rice fields, and rice is life. A subtly lovely textile, handwoven from village raised, hand reeled, naturally dyed silk, it comes with a photo of the weaver wearing the shoulder cloth.
